We ate in the guest house where all the animal trophies were displayed. Just as Joyce said, there were so many it would be hard to descripe. I think I remenber an elephant's foot used as a trash can. Yes, you would have loved it, girl! Can you believe this is a plantation I called week before last trying to get in on our GCSC Plantation Tour. The Caretaker told me I would have to call back in the summer when the lastest Legentre would be back. He said Nov. is the busy time for guest. But this is an interesting developement. Maybe we can pull it off. It is truly one of the most historic plantations on the Cooper River.

The butler served his special grapefruit juice and bourbon cocktails. Lunch was always perfect and Gertie always fascinating! Her portrait in the dining room made me think of Isak Dinesen and "Out of Africa." It is a terrible thing to know that's a thing of the past now. Elegance and courtesy so often replaced by texting and iPods. Call me nostalgic....

Very impressive. What happened to the trophy house by the river? I have never seen so many huge heads of all descriptions. You would have just loved it, Trish. :-) RTGC went there 6-8 years ago, but sadly, didn’t get inside as the owner was very ill and died 2 days later. Very impressive.
